This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range.

Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe.
